 Hi! I'm Aspen! I absolutely LOVE summer! The hot weather and cold pools are just what I need after a long winter here in Rexburg. Although I love the beach, the pool is my favorite. I love to glide through the crystal clear water or relax and float atop it. Luckily for me, I have got my very own swimming pool in my backyard! I get to go swimming whenever I want. thanks for reading some about me and I hope you love this picture o f me and my favorite summer activity!

Thank you all so much for your entries!

The winners will be announced next week on Monday most likely. 

Also, just wanted to let ya'll know that there have been some complications with the order for the mini laptop for the first place winner. It won't be arriving till around August 5-20. I'm really sorry about this dilemma, but I can't really do anything about it. But at soon as I get it I'll ship it.

Thanks for reading!

New African-American BeForever character?

Hello everyone! So I stumbled across this blog post saying that American Girl should be releasing a African-American BeForever doll in 2016!

This is super exciting!

It's not really a rumor because AG pretty much gave it all away, but this is still awesome!

I just looked at their trademarks and saw a couple names that they just claimed this year.

Emily, Gabriela, and Melody Ellison.

I really hope that they don't name her Emily!

American Girl has been re-using a lot of their old doll's names lately! It's getting really annoying.

I like the name Melody though.

What do you guys think about this?

Thanks for reading!

Contest questions

Hello everyone!

So I have been getting a few questions about this concerning my 50 follower contest.

That is:

Do we have to have a caption for our photo?

And the answer is no. 

You DO NOT have to have a caption for your entry.

If you have already sent in your photo and would like to add a caption, go ahead! 

Just email me again.

Another question was Am I judging the photos on how summer-y they are?

And yes I will be doing that.

So I'll be judging the photos on

Quality, Creativity, originality, and on how much summer it screams!

If you have any questions more just comment them down below here, or anywhere really 

then I can update this post so that all of  your questions are answered.

Well, that's about it. 

Enter the contest here!

Good luck!

"Clean" ~ A lyric photo shoot

All credit to Adi for bringing lyric photo shoots to us!

Lyrics are from "Clean" by Taylor Swift

The drought was the very worst
Ahh, ahh
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months, and months of back and forth
Ahh, ahh
You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore

Hung my head as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning gone was any trace of you,
I think I am finally clean

There was nothing left to do
Ahh, ahh
When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof
Ahh, ahh
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you,
I think I am finally clean
I think I am finally clean
Said I think I am finally clean

10 months sober, I must admit
Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
10 months older, I won't give in
Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning gone was any trace of you,
I think I am finally clean

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
Finally clean
Think I'm finally clean
Ahh, ahh
Think I'm finally clean

Hope you enjoyed that! 

This is my first time joining lyrics and photos together and I absolutely love it!

I'll definitely be doing this again!

P.s. If you have any ideas for the weekly poll make sure to tell me! I haven't been the most creative lately and I haven't thought of a topic that ya'll should vote on.
So if you have any suggestions comment it anytime.
And it doesn't have to be doll related.
Thanks!
